Mohamed Salah has once again etched his name into Premier League history, winning the Football Writers' Association (FWA) Footballer of the Year award for the 2024/25 season — and he did it in style.
Not only is this the third time the Liverpool forward has clinched the prestigious honour, but he now stands shoulder to shoulder with Arsenal legend Thierry Henry as the only players to have won it three times. It’s an elite club, and Salah just stamped his legacy on it.
This season, the Egyptian star was nothing short of sensational. With 28 goals and 18 assists, he didn't just lead Liverpool to a dramatic Premier League title — he led the entire league in both categories. That’s 46 direct goal involvements, a staggering 17 more than any other player in the league. If there was ever a definition of “carrying the team,” Salah wrote it.
Even more impressive? He secured nearly 90% of the votes from football writers — the biggest winning margin in the award’s history. That’s not just dominance on the pitch, that’s universal respect.
Meanwhile, in the women’s category, Alessia Russo of Arsenal picked up her first FWA Women's Footballer of the Year award. The England international netted 12 goals in 20 matches, playing a key role in Arsenal’s title challenge and further establishing herself as a rising star of the game.
Salah's win confirms what fans and critics alike have seen all season: when he’s at his best, he’s unstoppable — and unforgettable.
